sent emails, can they be logged?

[Mikepo]

HI everyone.

 

I have been having trouble with emails being sent from oscommerce, using 2.3.4BS, and now have reverted to smtp, and order confirmations  are sent to the customer and copied to me.

 

However, I have no confirmation of emails sent via the admin> tools > send email

 

or the confirmation what is sent to the customer when I confirm an order is sent/processed.

 

Is there anyway of receiving a copy of the email? similar to a sent folder in an email client?

 

I have the 'Send Extra Order Emails To'  set to any store email address in the format specified

Name 1 <email@address1>, Name 2<email@address2>

 

is there something I've missed, or do I need an addon?

No, there isn't any code to backup emails. But there are two addons, at least, that will do that. One is named Email Queue but I can't recall the other at all. Maybe someone else will.

 

But I suppose the simple way would be to add a command to send a copy of the email, like send extra order emails does. You just have to track down the sections where you want to make that change. Or, just edit the tep_mail function to send the email twice, one to the location of your choice.

This is my solution

 

1 - modiify admin/mail.php, so when sending email from your shop a copy is also sent to you

 

Add

 

     $mimemessage->send('YourStoreName', 'YourStoreEmmailAddress', '', $from, $subject);    

 

2 - modify admin/orders.php, so when a change in customer order status is made a copy is also sent to you.

 

Add

 

            tep_mail('YourStoreName', 'YourStoreEmmailAddress', EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

 

seems to work for me.
